BYD India says the Sealion 7 has crossed 5,000 customer deliveries in India since it launched in February 2025. The Dynamic was introduced in August 2026 at an introductory ex-showroom price of Rs 41.90 lakh.
It is reported to be BYD's fastest-selling electric vehicle in India, even though it is the brand's most expensive mainstream model here. Deliveries began on March 7, 2025.
Prices and variants
The range now includes the Dynamic, the Premium, the Performance and a limited Festive Edition. These are the ex-showroom prices in the facts, with the date of each:
| Version | Battery | Claimed NEDC range | Ex-showroom price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dynamic (introductory, August 2026) | 71.8 kWh | 520 km | Rs 41.90 lakh |
| Premium (First Anniversary Edition, March 2026) | 82.56 kWh | 567 km | Rs 49.90 lakh |
| Festive Edition (Premium-based, October 2026) | Not stated | Not stated | Rs 50.60 lakh |
| Performance (First Anniversary Edition, March 2026) | Not stated | Not stated | Rs 54.90 lakh |
The Premium has moved up since launch. It started at Rs 48.90 lakh, rose by Rs 50,000 to Rs 49.40 lakh from January 1, 2026, and was listed at Rs 49.90 lakh as the First Anniversary Edition in March 2026. The Performance was priced at Rs 54.90 lakh at launch and again in the March 2026 listing.
What each step up adds
- Dynamic: a 71.8 kWh Blade Battery and a claimed 520 km NEDC range. It keeps the panoramic glass roof and rotating touchscreen.
- Premium: a larger 82.56 kWh battery and a claimed 567 km NEDC range, with the panoramic glass roof and 15.6-inch rotating touchscreen.
- Festive Edition: the Premium with a Tan and Black interior, quilted Nappa leather seats, an electric sunshade for the glass roof and a head-up display. It is a limited run, though reports differ on whether it is 150 or 50 units.
- Performance: dual motors with 390 kW and 690 Nm, and a 0-100 km/h time of 4.5 seconds.
The SUV uses BYD's Blade Battery technology and Cell-to-Body architecture.
Which version suits you
If your driving rarely stretches the range, the Dynamic is worth a look: its introductory Rs 41.90 lakh is Rs 8 lakh below the Premium's March 2026 listing of Rs 49.90 lakh, though the two prices are from different dates. It keeps the glass roof and rotating screen, and its claimed 520 km is 47 km short of the Premium. If you do long highway runs, the Premium's bigger battery is the reason to step up. The Festive Edition makes sense only if you want its cabin and the head-up display. The Performance is for buyers who want the acceleration. This compares purchase prices only; running costs are not covered here.
